Ah, no thanks if I wanted it I would have ordered it and besides for fifty cents I could go buy an entire avocado.  Read more: A fast food idiot or is it the register?

    Having the new iPhone 3GS means having a tremendous amount of apps available for my viewing and using. I thought I could share with everyone my favorite apps that I have located so far.

Here are my favorites…
